Animintz (Cannabis flos S-LAB): lineage from two lines of Cookies and myrcene in the profile
Animintz is a hybrid with a predominance of the Indian part, supplied to Polish pharmacies by one manufacturer. We have gathered what its lineage, terpene profile, and state of evidence indicate from sources, along with what these sources do not mention.
Where does Animintz come from and what does its lineage say?
Animintz was created by crossing Animal Cookies with SinMint Cookies, which are two lines that have grown from the same stem. This is stated by one verified source, which also indicates the breeder, Seed Junky Genetics. The commercial description defines the plant as a hybrid with a predominance of the indica part, and this information also comes from a single source.
Both components of this cross lead to one family. Animal Cookies descends from the Girl Scout Cookies line, and SinMint Cookies is described in the same source as a combination of Girl Scout Cookies and Blue Power. Therefore, the pedigree tree of Animintz converges on both sides to the same strain, which is not evident from the name alone.
The origin is known here from a single entry that could be verified directly, and it should be read as such: as information from a single source, not as a determination confirmed by several independent descriptions. In the cluster to which this text belongs, twenty-five cultivars out of eighty-five have no established parents, and we state directly that the lineage remains unknown, rather than guessing at ancestors. Animintz does not belong to this group, but the difference between one source and the agreement of multiple sources remains, and it is worth keeping in mind when comparing descriptions.
Who supplies Animintz to Polish pharmacies?
One manufacturer, S-LAB. There is no choice between versions from several producers here, and the comparison boils down to what this one description provides about the raw material. However, availability changes from batch to batch, so check the current status in the updated strain compilation, not in the cultivar description.
| What the source states | Value for Animintz |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer supplying to Polish pharmacies | S-LAB |
| Genetics according to the commercial description | hybrid with a predominance of the indica part |
| Number of sources describing the profile composition | one |
| THC content considering the manufacturer's tolerance | 19,8-24,2% |
| Dispensing mode | exclusively by prescription, category Rpw |
The range instead of a single value comes from the fact that the manufacturer's declaration allows for a deviation of one-tenth in either direction. The number printed on the packaging is the midpoint of such a range, not the result of measuring the portion that the patient receives. When comparing two strains, a difference narrower than the width of both ranges does not resolve anything. Tolerance describes the permissible variation, not a weight error, so it also includes differences between packages from the same series. The table does not include price or current stock status, as both change faster than the strain description, and we keep them only in the aggregate list.
A single supplier has another consequence that strain descriptions usually remain silent about. When a batch runs out, there is no substitute from another manufacturer under the same name, so the break in availability can be total and lasts until the next series is introduced. For the same reason, the strain name is not a guarantee of continuity in treatment, as it returns to circulation only when a specific series returns, not when the patient needs it. We have compiled the remaining items from this manufacturer in a separate discussion.
What does this dried flower smell and taste like?
There is no description of the scent that could be attributed to this cultivar based on the documentation. Accounts circulating in stores and forums are impressions of individual people, not measurements. However, it can be said what each of the four compounds mentioned in the only published profile of this strain is usually associated with.
Myrcene is often associated with a herbal and earthy note, which rarely comes to the forefront and more often acts as a background. Kariofilen niesie akcent pieprzny i korzenny, limonen cytrusowy, a linalol kwiatowy, bliski lawendzie. These are associations attributed to the compounds themselves, known from olfactometry, and not a description of how a specific batch of dried flower smells.
It is impossible to draw a conclusion about which of these accents will prevail, as the source mentions the presence of compounds, not their proportions. Additionally, the smell of the dried flower changes after opening the package and depends on how the plant was dried and stored, so even two packages of the same strain may not smell the same. Commercial descriptions that provide one distinct aroma as a characteristic of the strain promise precision that the data does not support.
A separate issue is that the smell does not predict anything. The compounds detectable by the nose constitute a small part of the plant's content, and the olfactory impression depends on the threshold of detection, which is different for each of them. A component present in trace amounts can dominate the scent, while one present in larger amounts may go unnoticed, so the order of notes in the description does not reflect the order of contributions in the dried flower.
How quickly does this dried flower start to work and when does the effect wear off?
The answer depends not on the strain, but on how the raw material is administered. For Animintz, no separate measurement has been published, and the difference between cultivars is smaller than the difference between inhaling vapor and swallowing. Therefore, the following description pertains to the method of administration and applies equally to the entire group of dried flowers.
The route of administration determines the course more than the variety itself. After vaporization, the substance passes from the lungs to the blood almost immediately, so the first sensations appear after a few minutes, the intensity increases for another ten to thirty minutes, and the whole effect lasts for two to four hours. After ingestion, the raw material first passes through the intestine and liver, so the first sensations are awaited from half an hour to two hours, and the episode can last six, sometimes eight hours. Hence the most common mistake with oral administration: anyone who thinks nothing is happening after thirty minutes and takes another dose will receive both doses at once. The above ranges describe the route of administration, not this variety; pharmacokinetic studies for a single cultivar have not been published.
For someone comparing strain descriptions, one conclusion arises. Claims of faster or longer effects attributed to a single plant have no basis in measurement, as no such measurement has been conducted for any of these cultivars. The method of administration and the size of the dose are determined by the treating physician, not the description on the store's website.
What has been demonstrated in studies on myrcene, and what remains undetermined?
The action of myrcene itself has been demonstrated in rodents, in three studies with different methods of administration and divergent outcomes. However, the translation of these observations to humans inhaling vapor from dried flower has not been demonstrated. Everything below pertains to a single compound administered to animals, not this strain administered to a patient.
| Work | Model | What was described | Identifier |
|---|---|---|---|
| to Vale et al., Phytomedicine, 2002 | mouse, intraperitoneal injection | At doses of 100-200 mg/kg, the animals moved less in the open field test, and the sleep induced by pentobarbital lasted longer, at 200 mg/kg about 2.6 times longer. In the cross maze, mice entered the open arms less frequently, which the authors considered a weak anxiogenic effect, thus contrary to sedation. | PMID:12587690 |
| Rao et al., Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1990 | mouse | Doses of 10-40 mg/kg weakened pain responses in the hot plate test and in the writhing test after acetic acid. Naloxone and yohimbine abolished this effect, indicating the involvement of alpha2-adrenergic receptors and the release of endogenous opioids. | PMID:1983154 |
| Wagner et al., NeuroSci, 2024 | mouse, short puffs of vapor | Inhalation administration, mimicking the method used by humans, produced an anxiolytic effect in the cross maze in females, and in males only with a single puff. Unlike linalool, myrcene did not enhance the action of cannabidiol in either sex. | PMID:39728677 |
In humans, myrcene alone has not been shown to alleviate insomnia at doses typical for inhalation of dried flower. The direction of the effect in rodents depends on the route of administration and sex: intraperitoneal injection in 2002 described a slightly anxiogenic effect, while inhalation in 2024 showed an anxiolytic effect in females. These two results do not negate each other; they simply show that the conclusion depends on conditions that no popular strain database provides.
Besides these works, there are two types of content that should not be mixed with evidence. The first is the manufacturer's material: commercial description, declared genetics, and a list of compounds detected in the profile. The second is testimonials from individuals using dried flower, describing individual experiences without a comparative group and without blinding. Neither one nor the other indicates what this plant does in the body, so in the text we keep them separate from research results. The separation of these three layers rarely occurs in strain descriptions, and without it, a statement about mice and a statement from a commercial leaflet appear equally serious on the page. We have gathered the works on this terpene in a separate discussion.
What side effects have been reported for this strain?
No side effects have been described specifically for Animintz. Reports are not collected under the cultivar name, so the compilation of symptoms attributed to this particular plant does not exist and cannot be created from public data. The only honest information that can be provided is what pertains to hemp flower as a group of raw materials.
Reports of adverse effects are collected for medicinal products with a batch number, not for the strain name, so the following pertains to hemp dried flower as a group of raw materials. The most frequently reported symptoms are dry mouth, red eyes, and increased heart rate. Dizziness upon rapid standing, daytime drowsiness, and temporary worsening of short-term memory are less frequently described, as well as anxiety that increases with dosage. A separate issue is medications taken concurrently, especially sedatives and those affecting coagulation: their assessment requires knowledge of the entire list of preparations, not just the description of the plant. We do not provide the frequency of these symptoms numerically, as public compilations for hemp dried flower in Poland do not separate them by individual products.
This leads to a note about the strain descriptions themselves. Since the list of symptoms is common for the entire group, a page presenting it as a feature of one plant repeats general content, just under a different name. Differences between cultivars may exist because the composition can vary, but no one has measured or published them in this form, and speculation does not replace measurement.
At what temperature is this dried flower vaporized?
No one has determined the proper temperature for this strain, so providing a single number would be a fabrication. It makes more sense to point out three things that spoil most compilations circulating online, as they pertain not so much to the plant itself but to the measurement method and what exactly was measured in such a measurement and what the provided value refers to.
First, the evaporation temperature tables for individual compounds differ from each other, and to such an extent that choosing one set over another changes the recommendation. Where do these discrepancies come from and what do the values from such tables actually refer to, rozbieramy osobno.
Second, the number on the device's display describes the heating element or the air before the chamber, not the plant. The dried flower heats up with a delay and unevenly, so the same setting gives a different result depending on the equipment, ubicia komory i tempa wdechu.
Third, the published profile of this strain lists four compounds, not one. Setting the equipment for the one indicated as leading is therefore a choice, not an optimization: what favors one component does not necessarily favor the others, and how much of each was in the dried flower, the source does not provide.
For these three reasons, the ranges entered into commercial descriptions should be read as a convention adopted in the industry, not as a setting calculated for this plant. No public source provides a measurement taken on this cultivar, so any number given here as appropriate would have been copied from another strain or from nothing.
Which strains share a common ancestor with Animintz?
Two, both through Animal Cookies: Animal Rntz and Zookies. The kinship comes from the pedigree graph, not from name similarity. Besides this one common parent, both differ from Animintz in their second parent, producer, and the terpene indicated in their profiles as primary.
| Strain | Second parent | Producer | Terpene indicated as primary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Animal Rntz | Runtz | S-LAB | caryophyllene |
| Zookies | Gorilla Glue #4 | Medalchemy | caryophyllene |
The comparison immediately shows how little the common parent promises. Both of these strains have a different leading compound in their profile description than Animintz, and one of them comes from a different manufacturer, so it arrives at the pharmacy in a completely separate series. Sibling in this graph means that the two strains have a documented common ancestor, and nothing more: it does not promise either a similar composition or a similar course of action. You can find separate discussions of both with the strain Animal Rntz oraz przy odmianie Zookies.
The similarity of the names does not resolve anything here, in either direction. The term kush carries ten cultivars in this cluster, and half of them have no established parents at all, so a common word can be a commercial decision, not a record of origin. It can also be the other way around: for some strains, the sibling list is empty despite a known pedigree because the parent is a landrace or a broad family style, meaning a category, not a single established plant. For such strains, we do not add connections based on intuition, as fabricated kinship spreads through the graph further than its absence.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Animintz strain
Is Animintz an indica or sativa strain?
The commercial description indicates a hybrid with a predominance of the indica part and comes from a single source. The division into indica and sativa does not predict the effects, as it describes the plant's morphology and naming tradition, rather than the measured response of the body.
How much THC does Animintz have?
The source provides a single value, and the manufacturer's declaration allows for a deviation of one-tenth in either direction, so a fair representation is the range of 19.8-24.2%. The number on the packaging represents the midpoint of this range, not the measurement result of a specific portion.
Who supplies Animintz to Polish pharmacies?
One manufacturer, S-LAB. Availability can be intermittent, as it depends on subsequent batches introduced to the market, so it's advisable to check the current status in the updated strain listing, rather than in the cultivar description.
What terpenes are mentioned in the Animintz profile?
One source mentions caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, and myrcene, with myrcene indicated as the leading terpene. We do not provide percentages, as sources do not disclose what total they are counting towards, and the sums collected from different databases for the same items do not add up to one hundred.
Does Animintz help with sleep?
This has not been demonstrated. Research on myrcene was conducted on rodents and yielded varying results depending on the method of administration, and it has not been verified in humans that this compound works at the amounts found in dried flower. Treatment decisions are made by the attending physician.
Which strains are related to Animintz?
Animal Rntz and Zookies, both from a common parent, Animal Cookies. The relationship is based on the pedigree graph, not on name similarity, and does not predict a similar composition: in both profiles, a different leading terpene is indicated than in Animintz.
Can Animintz be purchased without a prescription?
No. Dried flower is a pharmaceutical raw material dispensed exclusively by a doctor's prescription, in the Rpw category, and the pharmacy fulfills a prescription issued for a specific raw material and a specified quantity.
